Today, we are delighted to share details of the seven shows participating in this year’s Culture Ireland Edinburgh Showcase 2024.
The Edinburgh Festival Fringe (2 – 26 August) continues to offer an important and unique platform for Irish theatre and dance artists to gain international media and audience recognition for their work and to develop their networks.
Sharon Barry, Director, Culture Ireland, commented: “More than ever, participation in the Edinburgh Fringe is a primary pathway to both global touring opportunities and engagement with new audiences. We look forward to working with these seven vibrant shows in maximising their potential from the Edinburgh experience.”
